This a heritage property at the entrance to the Royal Marines’ North Barracks estate. The North Barracks, dating from 1795, was originally designed as a military hospital but was always used as a military barracks.  Officers’ houses and a guardhouse were erected on the northern boundary between 1810 and 1830 and remain as grade-II listed buildings. A military cemetery lies along the western wall and is also protected.   

Valerie was retained to carry out a comprehensive refurbishment of the entire house, as well as fitting new plumbing, electrics and data installations. Valerie created a spacious new open plan dining and kitchen area, with clean lines and stainless-steel worktops, as well as building new bathrooms and ensuites, in sensational, contemporary designs.
